Description

 

I have been a Midiwfe since 1997 and have experience in both normal and abnormal pregnancy and birth. I have worked for many years in the hospital setting and over the last 8 years as an LMC midwife. 

I love working with woman and their family's throughout the pregancy and being able to focus on their individual needs to ensure the best care for the birth of their baby.

I look after mothers in Māngere and surrounding suburbs.

Staying at a birthing centre or hospital after giving birth

Your stay at a birthing centre or hospital after giving birth will usually be up to 2 days, or 2-5 days if you have had a caesarean. During this time you will have regular visits from your midwife and be supported to care and feed your baby. After the birth you will be tired and busy getting to know your new baby. Most women who have had a normal birth stay in the hospital or birth centre for 48 hours. If you have had a caesarean section, the usual hospital stay is 3-5 days. There may be an option to have your postnatal stay in a primary unit if you have given birth at hospital. Some women choose to go straight home after birth, this is called a planned early discharge. Talk to your midwife about your postnatal stay and make sure your family know what your plan is.
